A generosity of spirit

One of the most amazing aspects of this week's terrible events has been the generosity of people, the sense of community and the enormous outpouring of offers of support, of people wanting to donate their time, the money and their belongings.

Perhaps the Mayor of Ipswich, Paul Pissale, summed it up best earlier in the week when he said that the best support people can offer their neighbours doing it tough is practical assistance and a shoulder to lean on.

So who is offering their time and what kinds of things are they doing? Phil Smith is talking to Jelenko Dragisic from Volunteering Queensland.
